fit the dust cap we recommend to use strips of masking tape in closely arranged straight
lines to form a circular mask - this will prevent excess glue from containing the new cone.
Apply an even bead of adhesive and make sure the dust cap is pressed on centrally and
firmly.
Once the speaker is installed and working it is vitally important to follow a break in
procedure. For most of our woofers before 2020 with single spiders a short break in period
of a few hours at medium volume, making sure the woofer is not in any way stressed, will
result in a satisfactory loosening of the components. For our newer woofers since 2020 with
a specialist multi spider suspension setup such as IndyS series it is absolutely critical that
the speakers are not extended until at least 20 hours of playing at medium level Free air
has been completed. Failure to do this will almost certainly lead to failure of the motor/coil
due to the suspension presenting excessive resistance in its pre-break in state. Failure of
speakers due to insufficient running in is not covered by warranty. Please note that TS
parameters can and do change dramatically after break in - until the speaker is at its
equilibrium.
